Where Is Your Heart?

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." -Matthew 6:21
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, where thieves do not break in and steal." -Matthew 6:19-20
What does that mean? It means, that as Christians, we have a choice. We can either worry about the next thing we want, or "need" all the time, and keep building up our "treasures" here on Earth; or we can start building up treasures in Heaven, and put more focus on that.
Storing up treasures on Earth is just a way of saying that all we are worried about is money. It becomes an idol to us, a master to us. All we want to do is spend money, make money, buy things, and we become a slave to the things we want and the money we make.
While money is essential to living these days (house, food, clothing, etc.) it doesn't have to be so materialistic. Enough is enough. Why can't we, as humans, be happy and feel blessed with what we have, instead of worrying about what others have got. Because we're humans, and that's our nature? There's got to be another way, 'cause it breaks my heart to see people (including myself, at times) living this way.
Storing up treasures in Heaven is a different concept. It means doing things for others, and for Christ. You don't think that the Almighty sees and knows everything? Yet, He gave us free will so we could make our own choices. He wants us to choose Him. Choose to show other people Him, tell other people about Him (remember, actions speak louder than words). By following Christ's example, and helping others, taking care of others when they need it,  doesn't matter if it's big or small, and showing others acts of kindness, compassion, and love, we can store up treasures in Heaven, by doing it out of selflessness.
Imagine the treasures that Heaven has. Look at what Earth has, then imagine how much greater, how much more amazing Heaven will be than Earth.
"No one can serve two masters. Either you hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." -Matthew 6:24

Where you store up your treasure, there your heart will also be. Do you want your heart to be in God, or in money, and things of this world?
